Spectators: 7408 (Terracing: 5500, Seating: 1808, VIP seats: 100) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Ambuvica Deol started the match with the kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Harrow's goal looked a bit too open when Camikara Sangma came free, but Karmarkar Pujari reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Anu Thapa didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Krpananda Sahni went, in the 4th minute, to the upper right corner, 1-0 was the resulting score. After some careless play in the Harrow defense, Kusumasrestha Ghai kicked a shot that curved into the net to the right of Karmarkar Pujari. The Harrow fans voiced their displeasure as they felt that Karmarkar Pujari should have stopped the shot. Through an outstanding action, after 11 minutes, Anu Thapa successfully got his hands on the ball before it slid into the goal at the right post.

Without hesitation aimed to the right of Anu Thapa, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Sitaram Jha came free with the goalkeeper in the 27th minute of the match, and shot straight on target. The shot was a little too simple and Anu Thapa could save by the left post.

An unexpectedly hard shot by Ambuvica Deol in the 32nd minute of play forced Harrow's goalkeeper Karmarkar Pujari to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Krpananda Sahni was the one to do the kick off.
